Overview
Organizational Change Through Person-Centered Thinking
TCRC's leadership in the use of Person-Centered Thinking tools and philosophy in all work for and with persons served as well as through all aspects of organizational activities has resulted in real and acknowledged momentum, e specially over the last three years, 2004-2007.
Organizational cultural change initiatives such as developing and leading the effort for alternatives to day services locally and in Sacramento, as well as communicating with colleagues state-wide about these efforts, have resulted in a vibrant and progressive environment at TCRC.
Omar Noorzad PhD, Executive Director, spoke to these issues in a presentation in February 2006 at the ARCA conference in San Diego CA. Learn more about his presentation through downloading the Power Point presentation.
